This paper is devoted to an exact discussion of the determination of the astronomical unit with radar and to an extensive error analysis of the technique. Theoretical relationships between the constants are used to construct a consistent set of numerical values of constants based on these results.

Résumé. — Cette Communication est consacrée à la discussion de la détermination de l'unité astronomique à l'aide de radar et à une analyse approfondie des erreurs provenant des techniques employées. On utilise les relations théoriques entre les constantes pour construire un ensemble cohérent de valeurs de constantes à partir de ces résultats.

Zusammenfassung. — Diese Arbeit enthält eine genaue Untersuchung der Bestimmung der Astronomischen Einheit mit Radar und eine eingehende Fehleranalyse ihrer technischen Durchführung. Unter Benutzung der theoretischen Beziehungen zwischen den Konstanten wird aus diesen Ergebnissen ein widerspruchsfreies System numerischer Werte der Konstanten aufgestellt.

Резюме. — Это сообщение посвящено обсуждению определения астрономической единицы при помощи радара и полному анализу погрешностей этой техники. Исходя из теоретических соотношений между постоянными,. автор дает связную систему значений астрономических постоянных.
